Summer at City Church
Connect through a City Group or attend an upcoming event
Embracing Ordinary Time
Summer often brings changing rhythms, travel, and a slower pace of life. In the church calendar, this season is called Ordinary Time, a reminder that spiritual growth often happens not only in major moments, but through the steady practices of community, worship, friendship, and faithfulness.
This summer, City Church is offering City Groups, seminars, dinners, City Youth events, and City Kids activities designed to help people stay connected, grow spiritually, and experience meaningful community throughout the season.
Whether you are new to City Church or have been part of the community for years, there are opportunities for every stage of life to engage this summer.
